A needle apparatus and a method of implementing a needle apparatus are disclosed. The needle apparatus includes a hollow tube component including, at a first end of the hollow tube component, a pointed portion configured for piercing tissue of a patient and a needle hub disposed at a second end of the hollow tube component. The hollow tube component includes a bend disposed therein. The bend is positioned between the first and second ends of the hollow tube component. The needle apparatus also includes a stylet removably positioned in the hollow tube component. The stylet is characterized by a proximal end and a distal end. The stylet includes a stylet hub coupled to the distal end. At least a portion of the proximal end of the stylet includes a first diameter that is smaller than a second diameter of at least a portion of the distal end of the stylet.
